Neu-Götzens, Austria
Manufactured by Austrian lighting manufacturer Prolicht, CODE is an LED track system that combines the company’s expertise in technical lighting engineering with the discernible Tom Dixon design and aesthetic.
It utilizes bare LEDs on circuit boards that can be used to create thin strips, delicate chains and continuous columns of light. CODE has three LED light sources: Dot, Dash and Grid.
These elementary shapes of round, square and line form the basis of a kit-of-parts, which allow infinite possibilities to design graphic lighting sculptures.
Tom Dixon said: “We wanted to get to the essence of modern light, which has so swiftly moved from incandescent electrical to pure electronics, transforming the way we’re able to illuminate and radically reduce our electricity consumption at the same time.
“The question was how we could expose and explain the simple and intricate beauty of the circuit board and strip away any peripheral decoration or structure.”
“The mystery to us was why so much time and effort had been expended hiding and minimizing these extraordinary boards that have become so ubiquitous.”
